“…Studies related to sustainability and CSFs in the AS have mainly occurred in the domain of the green supply chain (Luthra, Garg, & Haleem, 2015; Wu, Liao, Tseng, & Chiu, 2015). However, few studies have explored the role of OHRM and sustainability, particularly in the AS (Ahuja et al, 2019). Furthermore, the need for a comprehensive understanding of OHRM aspects in order to successfully adopt SPs in the AS is rarely discussed.…”

This study aims to identify critical success factors (CSFs) for implementing sustainability in organizational human resources management (OHRM) within the automotive sector (AS). A literature review was carried out to identify the OHRM factors that are instrumental for the significant adoption of sustainable practices (SP) in the sector. Based on the outcomes from the literature review, an expert team composed of 17 experts from the AS, academia, and consultancy firms were consulted in order to identify cause–effect relationships among CSFs using a multi‐criteria decision making tool. Data were gathered in India from November 2019 to April 2020. The results revealed that top management support and environmental auditing for suppliers are the two most important CSFs to be prioritized among the factors studied, which implies that by managing these factors first, automotive manufacturers may deal better with the adoption of SP. As a result of prioritizing these two factors, other CSFs related to OHRM (e.g., organizational culture, environmental training, rewards, and incentives) will also positively affect the adoption of SP. The novelty of this study comes through raising the importance of environmental auditing for suppliers as a factor that can facilitate not only the adoption of SP in the AS, but the other OHRM factors as well.

“…Finally, the role of human resources in sustainable companies has been discussed by Macke and Genari [11], who provided a systematic literature review on sustainable human resource management; Ahuja et al [12], published an influential mapping analysis allowing identification of the human critical success factors in the adoption of sustainable manufacturing practices such as TQM; and, recently, Mousa and Othman [13] provided a conceptual framework related to the impact of green HRM practices on sustainable performance in healthcare organizations which can be generalized to other sectors. Based on these references, it can be concluded that quality and sustainability have their origins in HR, and managers around the world must focus on these factors; Mexico is not an exception.…”

Human Resource Abilities and Skills in TQM for Sustainable Enterprises

Total quality management (TQM) is a lean manufacturing tool that focuses on ensuring the production of goods that meet design specifications and give customer satisfaction, both attractive benefits highly appreciated by managers. However, there are several factors involved in the success of TQM programs, many of which are cultural aspects associated with human resources (HR). This article presents a structural equation model that integrates three latent variables related to internal HR: “managerial commitment,” “employee integration,” and “training and education,” which are linked to the operational benefits of a manufacturing system. The variables are connected through six hypotheses that have been validated with information obtained from 398 responses of a questionnaire applied to manufacturing industry professionals. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was carried out to describe the probabilities of occurrence for the variables at low and high levels. The hypotheses were statistically validated with the partial least squared technique, where the results showed that human factors play an essential role in the success of TQM, since the direct, indirect, and total effects of managerial commitment, employee integration and training, and education processes on the benefits obtained from the implementation of TQM were statistically significant at 95% confidence.

“…Numerous companies do not integrate sustainability proposals within their corporate approaches [9][10][11][12], thus affecting their strategic management and corporate planning. The consequences of the effective assimilation of corporate sustainability and administrative project management maturity endeavors on organizational success are significant.…”

In this article, we cumulate previous research findings indicating that organizations advance to superior phases of environmental management development in order to attain corporate sustainability by the use of participative decision-making. We contribute to the literature on corporate sustainability management and performance by showing that the correlation between sustainable development governance, organizational knowledge, sustainable organizational development, and corporate sustainability, which shapes corporate environmental and sustainability management. Throughout June 2020, we conducted a quantitative literature review of ProQuest, Scopus, and the Web of Science databases, with search terms including “corporate sustainability”, “corporate sustainability management”, “corporate sustainability performance”, “sustainability reporting”, “sustainable supply chain management”, “sustainable corporate development”, and “environmental management systems”. As we inspected research published exclusively in the past two years, only 338 articles met the eligibility criteria. By eliminating the findings that were questionable, unsubstantiated by replication, or too general, and due to space limitations, we selected 93, mainly empirical, sources. Future research should investigate whether corporate governance systems, through organizational sustainability practices and performance reporting, can shape operational environmental sustainability and sustainable organizational culture.
